Abstract

A communication control device according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes an interference ratio calculating unit that calculates an adjacent channel interference ratio between a first radio system, which is a protection target, and a second radio system, which is an interference source, when the second radio system shares and uses radio wave used by the first radio system and a guard band calculating unit that calculates a guard band necessary for a channel of the first radio system or the second radio system based on the adjacent channel interference ratio.

Claims (27)

1 . A communication control device, comprising:

an interference ratio calculating unit configured to calculate an adjacent channel interference ratio between a first radio system, which is a protection target, and a second radio system, which is an interference source, wherein the adjacent channel interference ratio is calculated in a case where the second radio system shares and uses a part or an entire frequency band used by the first radio system;

a guard band calculating unit configured to calculate a guard band, necessary for a channel of the first radio system and the second radio system, based on the adjacent channel interference ratio;

a notifying unit configured to notify the first radio system and the second radio system of guard band information corresponding to a first calculation result of the guard band calculating unit, wherein

the second radio system sets a reduced transmission bandwidth configuration based on the notified guard band information, and

a specific terminal device of the second radio system is with a reduced resource blocks based on the set reduced transmission bandwidth configuration; and

the notifying unit is further configured to notify to the second radio system a number of the reduced resource blocks that are reduced in the specific terminal device as the guard band information.

2 . The communication control device according to claim 1 , wherein the interference ratio calculating unit is further configured to calculate the adjacent channel interference ratio with a calculation method corresponding to an overlapping situation of a first frequency channel used by the first radio system and a second frequency channel used by the second radio system.

3 . The communication control device according to claim 1 , wherein the guard band information indicates a size of the guard band set in the channel.

4 . The communication control device according to claim 3 , wherein the information indicating the size of the guard band further indicates a number of resource blocks of the guard band.

5 . The communication control device according to claim 3 , wherein the information indicating the size of the guard band further indicates a frequency bandwidth of the guard band.

6 . The communication control device according to claim 4 , further comprising an acquiring unit configured to acquire numerology information of the first radio system or the second radio system, wherein

the notifying unit is further configured to notify the guard band information which indicates the number of resource blocks corresponding to the numerology information.

7 . The communication control device according to claim 4 , wherein, in a case where a second calculation result of the guard band calculating unit is not an integral multiple of the number of resource blocks,

the notifying unit is further configured to notify a number of integral multiples larger than the second calculation result as the number of resource blocks.

8 . The communication control device according to claim 7 , wherein

the notifying unit is further configured to notify a number of nearest integral multiples larger than the second calculation result as the number of resource blocks.

9 . The communication control device according to claim 1 , wherein, based on reception of a specific request,

the guard band calculating unit is further configured to calculate the guard band.

10 . The communication control device according to claim 9 , wherein, based on reception of configuration information of radio communication in the specific request, the guard band calculating unit is further configured to calculate the guard band.

11 . A communication control method, comprising:

calculating an adjacent channel interference ratio between a first radio system, which is a protection target, and a second radio system, which is an interference source, wherein the adjacent channel interference ratio is calculated in a case where the second radio system shares and uses a part or an entire frequency band used by the first radio system;

calculating a guard band, necessary for a channel of the first radio system and the second radio system, based on the adjacent channel interference ratio;

notifying the first radio system and the second radio system of guard band information corresponding to a calculation result of the calculated guard band, wherein

the second radio system sets a reduced transmission bandwidth configuration based on the notified guard band information, and

a specific terminal device of the second radio system is with a reduced resource blocks based on the set reduced transmission bandwidth configuration; and

notifying to the second radio system a number of the reduced resource blocks that are reduced in the specific terminal device as the guard band information.
